From the goal.com Greg Stobart article..

...

Meanwhile, Spurs are not interested in joining the race for highly rated Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, who is a target for Manchester United and Arsenal.

Zaha has been heavily linked with a move away from Selhurst Park but the Championship club are deterring bidders by demanding £15m for the teenager.

best news yet!

Ideally Damiao will act the plum and force Internacional to accept a reduced bid - basically throw his toys out the pram and say "it's always been my dream to play for Tottenham and Internacional are denying me this . . . ya da ya da ya" (although might be more believeable if he replaces 'for Tottenham' for 'in Europe' or 'in the Premier League'

I doubt he'll do this, but it seems to be regular tactic to eventually make stuff happen (apart from if Levy is your chairman - eh Modric!)

Anyway, hope you guys like my Avatar - it recognises the kittens at Spurs Lodge on August deadline day - and the day i joined the forum rather than lurk!!

Sandro has 60k followers.

Leandro has 300k followers!!

One thing is for sure, he is popular in brazil (because he is a good player, or just a nice guy?)

Good player, plays in Brazil = Loads of Brazilian supporters with brazilians.

to be fair, he is alluding to the daily transfer wranggle that happens at spurs. The manager has one list, and the comittee has another. If AVB has "won" then that means new targets in all probability
I remember talking to you about this comittee bollox a couple of summers back when H was getting it in the neck over some signings. It has to end. Either get in a DoF properly or start really listening to the guy who has to pick them team. DoF or manager type deal. This halfway house is all well and good and has it's merits but plumping for one doesn't mean DL has to jettison his financial concerns with it and it would actually help our tranfer dealings, imo.

It would be most encouraging if AVB has won the battle. When it comes to first team players he should have a big say. Comittee the ever-loving snot out of prospects and yoof players by all means.

Jason Burt during Telegraph web chat this lunchtime re: Moutinho/Leandro

Moutinho, unfortunately, won't be signed in January unless things change dramatically. Andre loves him, as you know, but Porto won't sell. Also I think Dembele has developed a superb partnership with Sandro so the pressing case for Moutinho isn't quite what it was. If Spurs get into the Champions League then I think they will go back for him. He has a very close bond with AVB and I think Spurs would have a good chance of getting him. They were so close in August..

If they sign anyone big in January then I believe it will be Damiao. Spurs like him and have had two previous offers turned down and since AVB has arrived he has made it clear he would like him also. The player, I also believe, would now like to come. Spurs would pay £15m - Internacional have previously insisted, after saying that was the price, that they want £20m. It's a very hard deal to do and my gut feeling is it won't happen now. But Spurs will try - especially if they can sell a couple of players also.

This is, I believe, the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth.

DL trying to get LD whilst trying to sell Hudd and Livermore. If he manages to sell those two soon he will probably bring in Holtby early. If he fails to get LD he wont look to buy any other striker this window and Ade is not going anywhere.

IMO obviously :)

Yeah that'll convince him. If having thousands of transfer starved lunatics tweeting him to come to Spurs doesn't make him hand in a transfer request then he's not worth bothering with.

I don't even think players control their twitter accounts, Sandro for some strange reason never makes spelling mistakes
Bale's tweets are so fucking PR, It is unreal...

Fenerbahçe President: "The asking price for Belhanda has risen to an astronomical level."
Fenerbahçe President: "We met with Belhanda however, the current price being quoted is too high."
Fenerbahçe President: "As soon as we tell the media who we are negotiating with the players price increases.”
